Artistic partner to the BPHO
The BPhC is naturally partnered with the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra (BPhO), offering an established orchestral/choral package.
Whilst the orchestra and chorus may collaborate with other ensembles, the priority given to this strong bond offers a stable and reliable product through ease of planning and an enhanced musical experience, arising from greater mutual understanding and coherence.
